* Document 2 Collyns, O.; Gillett, G.; Darlow, B. Overlap of premature birth and permissible abortion Journal of Medical Ethics 2009 June; 35(6): 343­347 Abstract: Abortion is permitted in many jurisdictions after the age at which an infant is viable on the basis of intensive neonatal care techniques. Does this cause special concerns for those involved in perinatal care and termination of pregnancy services or is the overlap mainly an abstract issue fretted over by ethicists and academics? In order to explore this question, a group of clinicians involved in this area of care were interviewed and their interviews analysed using qualitative measures. The clinicians concerned were exercised by the ethical issues and had various ways of resolving them which tended to reflect a gradualist, multifaceted and, to some extent, particularist approach to ethical decision­making in relation to the edges of human life. The ways in which those strands of ethical thought are instanced in the interview material are reported and discussed.

* Document 3 Steele, Rosie Medical students' attitudes to abortion: a comparison between Queen's University Belfast and the University of Oslo Journal of Medical Ethics 2009 June; 35(6): 390­394 Abstract: BACKGROUND: Abortion policy varies significantly between Northern Ireland and Norway. This is the first study to compare medical students' attitudes towards abortion in two different countries. OBJECTIVE: To assess medical students' attitudes to abortion at the University of Oslo (UiO) and Queen's University Belfast (QUB). DESIGN: An anonymous questionnaire completed by 59 medical students at UiO and 86 medical students at QUB. PARTICIPANTS: Students who had completed their obstetrics and gynaecology placements during 2006/2007. RESULTS: The students' responses (UiO versus QUB) were as follows: response rate, 95.2% vs 92.5%; stated no religious affiliation, 48.0% vs 4.7%; pro­abortion, 78.2% vs 14.3% (chi(2) = 58.160, p<0.001); had seen an abortion while studying medicine, 74.6% vs 9.4% (chi(2) = 73.183, p<0.001); in favour of abortion when there was a threat to the mother's life, 100% vs 93.3% (chi(2) = 6.143, p = 0.150); in favour of providing abortion on the mother's request, 86.4% vs 9.3% (chi(2) = 42.067, p<0.001); in agreement that women should have access to free abortion services (mean value on a 5­point Likert scale 1.69 out of 5), versus in disagreement (mean 3.76, p<0.001). CONCLUSION: There were significant differences in students' attitudes to abortion, reflecting differences in religious, legal and educational experiences.

* Document 10 Gleeson, R.; Forde, E.; Bates, E.; Powell, S.; Eadon­Jones, E.; Draper, Heather Medical students' attitudes towards abortion: a UK study. Journal of Medical Ethics 2008 November; 34(11): 783­787 Abstract: BACKGROUND: There is little research into medical students' or doctors' attitudes to abortion, yet knowing this is important, as policy makers should be aware of the views held by professionals directly involved in abortion provision and changing views may have practical implications for the provision of abortion in the future. METHODS: We surveyed 300 medical students about their views on abortion, their beliefs about the status of the fetus and the rights of the mother, their attitude towards UK law and their willingness to be involved in abortion provision as qualified doctors. RESULTS: 62% of medical students were pro­choice, 33% pro­life and 7% undecided. Students' views correlated with gender, year of study and holding a religious belief. Their beliefs about abortion, the status of the fetus and the rights of women significantly correlated with their attitudes towards the UK law and their willingness to be involved in abortion provision. Students' willingness to be involved in abortion provision was related to their views on abortion, the extent of participation required, the circumstances of the pregnancy and the stage of pregnancy. CONCLUSIONS: The percentage of pro­choice students was lower than that found in research on general practitioners' attitudes to abortion. It is unclear whether this is because students become more pro­choice as they progress through their medical career or because there is genuinely a change in attitudes to abortion.

Document 77 Behjati Ardekani, Z.; Akhoondi, Mohammed Mahdi; Sadeghi, M.R.; Sadri Ardekani, H. The necessity of a comprehensive study on abortion in Iran Medical Journal of Reproduction and Infertility 2005;24(6): 320­299 [Online]. Accessed: http://iranmedex.com/english/articles_detail.asp [2010 November 15] Abstract: Each year health and lives of millions of people are endangered by the termination of unwanted pregnancies. Unsafe induced abortions happen very often all over the world; especially in developing countries which many lead to death and disability of have lead to an increase in unsafe induced abortions. Other objectives of this study were to evaluate the causes of this increase, to assess the need for educative information on different aspects of unsafe abortions, to familiarize the legislative authorities with the present condition of the country and to make preparations for a change in views and also to cultivate the social grounds to reduce the increasing rate of such abortions. This study was based on literature and documentation reviews. Considering the young age of the Iranian population, changes in the views of Iranian women on the family size, late marriages, absence of parents at home in most of the day time, committing unsafe abortions due to the pressures exerted by restrictive legislations, endangering physical, sexual and psychosocial health of men and women and the increased treatment expenses and their effect on the health care budget, require great steps to be taken to make changes in legislative policies by applying WHO’s views on the concept of health to hopefully witness a pronounced reduction in unsafe abortions. It seems that there are the possibilities to achieve legal solutions by considering the comprehensive aspects of abortion and taking divagate of the uncertainties and absence of a unified jurisprudential view on the time of soul inspiration and by relying on the robust law of "hardship", prescription of abortion in some instances can come true.
